Lich
Lich are Necromancers that has taken the next step. They keep their racial category and gain massive bonuses based on the Lichform skill in the Necrosis category. Undead can not use this, which excludes ghouls and skeletons.
How
1. Pick whichever race you like the most for necromancer (excluding skeleton and ghoul).
2. Pick necromancer.
3. Complete the quest From Death, Life. Gain level 20, gain access to your home and level it up. Gain a necromancers heart by talking with the brotherhood merchant in the bottom right corner of Last Hope and accepting the graveyard quest. Gain the heart in that area and perform the ritual at your home by activating it at the orb. Make sure probability travel is off or you can't interact with it.
4. Level up the Lichform skill to whichever effective level you want, activate it and die with it on, levelling the skill more after this won't do anything except waste points. Suggested you kill yourself in a safe area so you don't run out of mana or similar things. Make sure you don't do this until you have the level of lichform you want in effective level.
